Martha Is Dead

Every now and then a game comes along that takes your breath away. We knew from the very start that Martha Is Dead’s tense, dark, emotional tale of love and loss, was such a game. Set in 1940s era Tuscany, you play as Giulia, investigating the death of your twin sister, Martha, as the ominous presence of World War II draws ever closer. You’ll explore the idyllic Italian countryside, take photos and unearth clues in an attempt to unravel the secrets and mystery of what happened to her - in a visually stunning and deeply immersive psychological thriller, from master developer LKA (The Town of Light).

In true Wired Productions style we have attentively crafted a premium physical Collector’s Edition befitting this one of a kind game. From the stunning presentation box to the wealth of exclusive, never-before-seen items, housed therein, this is a must-own celebration of the game for any fan.
